The car was overheating slightly due to insufficient level of coolant last 3 days.
After topping up the radiator with water, I bled the system using the screw on the radiator.
However, the air bubbles kept appearing even after, say, 2 minutes, and it seemed the water turned brownish during the process.
It also seems that the valve in heater matrix is shot, the heating behaves erratically (no heat when turned on, then it heats slightly when turned off etc., linkage was checked and adjusted twice to no avail).
I checked the engine oil and there were no signs of water/oil emulsion on the dipstick.
Can the air appearing in the water be considered a symptom sufficient for a blown gasket diagnosis, or am I worrying uselessly?
Thanx.
